Pros

Great PTO policy. You start with a fair amount and can gain additional PTO through volunteer work. Work-life balance is superb. Employees care about the NPO world. Working alongside non-profit organizations is rewarding and inspiring. The UX department is well ahead of most companies.

Cons

The salaries are not comparable to other software companies, especially with regard to salary advancement through pay raises and promotion. Decisions are often times a bit slow to come to action. The poor morale of younger employees is unacceptable due to a lack of feeling valued, poor mentoring, and limited investments in training opportunities.

Pros

Blackbaud is an outstanding place to work. The remote-first culture is a big bonus, but the people and the mission really make it what it is. They are well resourced and put a lot of care into making their employees feel seen, valued and respected. The leadership teams make it a priority to have healthly discourse and ensure accountability from all team members. I love it here!

Cons

Long hours but it is worth it because it is a great place to work!
